About

Raff Vader is a 3yo chestnut gelding from Australia, trained by Stephen Massingham in Cairns. He is by Invader out of Raffinato. He has recorded one win in his career. His top achievement came on 27 Feb 2025 at Townsville, where he claimed the $23000.00 2yo Maiden Set Weight. The horse has proved profitable for bettors, offering roughly a 21% return on investment for anyone who backed him throughout his career.
